“I am
honored to receive the support of these great conservative leaders,” said
Mitt Romney. “They share my vision of lower taxes, reduced spending, and a
balanced budget. Each of them understands the danger our country is facing,
and I look forward to working with them to put America
back on the right path.”

Announcing
his support, the dean of the Tennessee
delegation, Congressman Jimmy Duncan said, “Citizens in both the Volunteer
State and across the nation are suffering from unemployment, and in 2012, we
must elect a leader who can help get more folks working again. Mitt Romney
is that leader. With his background as a conservative businessman, I believe
strongly that Governor Romney is the best candidate to defeat President
Obama, turn the economy around, and lead America
into prosperity once again.”

“Mitt
Romney has a skill set that uniquely qualifies him to lead the United States
at this critical time in our history,” said Congresswoman Diane Black. “From
his experience in the private sector to his accomplishments as the governor
of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney knows how to balance a budget and create jobs.
I am proud to offer him my support.”

“I am
supporting Mitt Romney because he is the proven, conservative leader who
will focus on strengthening our economy, getting spending under control,
reducing the debt, and putting Americans back to work. He knows how to run a
business, and he understands how to create jobs and help small businesses
succeed,” said Congressman Phil Roe. “As a physician, I'm also pleased that
Governor Romney is committed to repealing the President’s deeply flawed
heath care plan that will put Washington
bureaucrats between patients and their doctors. I am proud to support Mitt
Romney for President.”
